Nicole Engler, 38, of Roseburg told investigators she thought she had taken her 21-month-old daugh- ter Remington to daycare before heading to work, court documents say. Instead, she completed her shift at 4 p.m. and found the toddler in the back seat — unconscious and blue, authorities said. Engler rushed the toddler back into the medical facility, where staff performed CPR until an ambulance arrived. The child was pronounced dead Thursday at Engler Mercy Medical Center in Roseburg. The temperature was about 80 degrees when the child was discovered. On a day that warm, the temperature inside a vehi- cle can rise to 109 degrees within 20 minutes, accord- ing to a National Safety Council report released ear- lier this month. Engler was booked into Doug- las County Jail on suspicion of sec- ond-degree man- slaughter. Court records do not list an attorney to speak on her behalf. Police Sgt. Gary Klop- fenstein said the depart- ment had no comment beyond what was in public documents. Pediatric vehicular heat- stroke killed 742 children between 1998 and 2017, the safety council found. The average age of victims was pany done that, every entity in the country would have been on their doorstep,” Dan Harshbarger said, a La Pine resident who lost trees on his property in a similar incident. The label was amended in 2013, when the proj- ect was slated to begin, and listed ponderosa pines as a plant species particularly sensitive to the weedkiller. Representatives from the transportation department and the Forest Service have said that the agencies didn’t violate instructions on the label, but acknowledged that there had been a serious mistake. “We just collectively dropped the ball on that, and it’s unfortunate,” Reid said. The Forest Service noticed the tree damage in the area in 2014, but it was not immediately linked to Perspective. Lisa Arkin, executive director for Beyond Tox- ics, which focuses on envi- ronmental and human health issues across Oregon, said Jefferson Public Works — which was chosen to apply the herbicide — was required by law to check the label. Central Oregon Land- watch, a Bend-based envi- ronmental watchdog group, asked the Forest Service in a letter to consider remov- ing just the tops of trees to keep them from impacting the highway if they fall. The approach would retain habitats for birds and other animals, Rory Isbell said, staff attorney for Cen- tral Oregon Landwatch.

In 54 percent of the cases, the parent or care- giver unknowingly left the youngster in a vehicle. It generally happened when the caregiver was especially tired or there was a change in routine, the authors of the report said. In a 2014 case near Port- land, prosecutors decided not to file criminal charges against an engineer whose daughter died after he for- got she was in the back seat when he arrived at work. They determined it was a “tragic and unintentional accident.” Oregon officials criticized for pesticides killing ponderosa pines BEND (AP) — Environ- mental advocates are call- ing out the Oregon Depart- ment of Transportation and its contractors for applying a weedkiller along a highway in Sisters that unintention- ally killed hundreds of pon- derosa pine trees. Environmentalists argued that the various groups involved in the proj- ect didn’t abide by instruc- tions on the chosen herbi- cide from the Environmental Protection Agency, The Bul- letin reported Thursday. In 2012, the Forest Ser- vice and Jefferson County Public Works chose to use the weedkiller Perspective to kill flammable roadside plants on a stretch of high- way in Sisters, Ian Reid said, the Sisters district ranger for the Deschutes National Forest. At the time, the EPA’s instructions on the product did not specify it could dam- age nearby ponderosa pines, Reid said. “Had a private com- 0s showers t-storms Oregon toddler dies after being left in hot car by nurse practioner mother By STEVEN DUBOIS Associated Press -0s Classified & Legal Advertising 1-800-962-2819 or 541-278-2678 classifieds@eastoregonian.com or legals@eastoregonian.com NEWS • To submit news tips and press releases: call 541-966-0818 or email news@eastoregonian.com • To submit community events, calendar items and Your EO News: email community@eastoregonian.com or call Tammy Malgesini at 541-564-4539 or Renee Struthers at 541-966-0818. • To submit engagements, weddings and anniversaries: email rstruthers@eastoregonian.com or visit www.eastoregonian. com/community/announcements • To submit sports or outdoors information or tips: 541-966-0838 • sports@eastoregonian.com Business Office Manager: Janna Heimgartner 541-966-0822 • jheimgartner@eastoregonian.com COMMERCIAL PRINTING Production Manager: Mike Jensen 541-215-0824 • mjensen@eastoregonian.com BRIEFLY Wildfire season starts with 2 blazes in Central Oregon Oregon students allowed neither male nor female gender option MAUPIN (AP) — Wild- fire season in Oregon is underway after a lightning storm sparked at least two major fires that are now burning in the central part of the state. Jean Nelson-Dean, a fire spokeswoman, said Friday the smaller fire burning near Culver triggered the manda- tory evacuation of about 100 homes. That blaze is at about 3 square miles and has not torched any homes. Another fire near Maupin grew to more than 15 square miles. There were no manda- tory evacuations but resi- dents east of the town are being told to be ready to go if needed. The fires were started by lightning strikes from strong thunderstorms that swept the region Wednesday. They are growing quickly in windy and dry conditions. PORTLAND (AP) — Oregon students will be able to select a non-binary gender option starting next school year. The Oregonian/Oregon- Live reports the Oregon Department of Education will allow students who don’t identify as male or female to select a third option, “X.” Oregon became the first state last year to allow res- idents to mark their gender as “not specified” when they apply for a driver’s license, learner’s permit or identity card. The action came about after an Oregon court allowed a Portland resident to legally change to non-bi- nary gender in 2016. The department has pre- viously issued guidance on gender identity by advising schools in 2016 that the indi- vidual student is the “person best situated to determine a student’s gender identity.” McKay Creek Estates We need to talk about your driving.
